      Terrible Management System - Software Engineer Criteo Employee Review

      Pros

      Fun outings Opportunity to go abroad

      Cons

      Terrible management, the French do not know how to manage or build a team of engineers and the in the US you need to brown nose the French hard to move up. Had a manager take me into a room to berate me, loudly, with strong words, where everyone could see and hear us. This was after I was working overtime to complete a project while my colleagues sat around watching. Sexism and racism both run rampant, especially on the business side and among those that graduated from the local university. Compensation was low compared to local companies and the reason I finally left.

      We are sorry to hear your management experience didn't go well. Even though Management is a top priority, we know we can always do more. We have put a lot of effort over the years for our managers to get the appropriate knowledge, mindset, and management tools, so they're able to set you up for success. We also promote an open feedback culture by encouraging our employees to give feedback on their managers in the Annual Manager Performance Survey and reaching out to their local People Partner to discuss any concerns or issues they might have.

      Pros

      People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

      Cons

      Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.
